This RC works perfectly fine no issues whatsoever as you can see in the video I put up. Brushless and very fast, I couldn't even go all out in video since it's hard to control at full speed in a sandy environment. I honestly didn't want to get rid of it, but I need the extra money. Only needs battery. I will include a strap in case the battery you acquire is too big. The one I used in the video was too big so I needed to use it.
